PART I

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute “forward-looking statements.” These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

As used in this Annual Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Bow” and the “Company” mean Bow Valley Ventures, Inc., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Annual Report are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS.

CORPORATE BACKGROUND

We were incorporated on December 20, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We currently own a 100% undivided interest in a mineral property located in the State of Nevada that we call the New Year No. 1 Property.

We have completed Phase I of our exploration program on the New Year No. 1, which included Prospecting, trenching and sampling over known mineralized zones. Our Consulting Geologist has recommended that we proceed to Phase II of our exploration program based on the results of Phase I

Compliance with Government Regulations

Additionally, if we decide to continue with the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the State of Nevada we will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the State of Nevada. The main agency that governs the exploration of minerals in the State of Nevada is the Nevada Bureau of Mines.

All mineral exploration activities carried out on a mineral claim or mining lease in Nevada must be done in compliance with the Nevada Bureau of Mines. This applies to all mines during exploration, development, construction, production, closure, reclamation and abandonment. It outlines the powers of the Chief Inspector of Mines, to inspect mines, the procedures for obtaining permits to commence work in, on or about a mine and other procedures to be observed at a mine. Additionally, the provisions of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for mines in Nevada contain standards for employment, occupational health and safety, accident investigation, work place conditions, protective equipment, training programs, and site supervision.



                                                                                       3

Also, the Mineral Exploration Code contains standards for exploration activities including construction and maintenance, site preparation, drilling, trenching and work in and about a water body.

Additional approvals and authorizations may be required from other government agencies, depending upon the nature and scope of the proposed exploration program. If the exploration activities require the falling of timber, then either a free use permit or a license to cut must be issued by the state. Items such as waste approvals may be required from the State if the proposed exploration activities are significantly large enough to warrant them. Waste approvals refer to the disposal of rock materials removed from the earth which must be reclaimed. An environmental impact statement may be required.

In addition, we will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work program. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impo ssible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings, our competitive position or on us in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.

If we anticipate disturbing ground during our mineral exploration activities, we may be required to make an application to the State for a permit. We do not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining a permit, if needed. Initial exploration activities (grid establishment, geological mapping, soil sampling, geophysical surveys) do not involve ground disturbance and as a result do not, at this time, require a work permit. Any follow-up trenching and/or drilling will require permits, applications for which will be submitted well in advance of the planned work.

If we enter the production phase, of which there is no assurance, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage. The regulatory requirements that we will have to meet will likely include:









                                                                                                  4



 

 

 

 

(i)

Ensuring that any water discharge meets drinking water standards;

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated with natural vegetation;

 

 

 

 

(iv)

All material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;

 

 

 

 

(v)

Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;


 

 

 

 

(vi)

The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and

 

 

 

 

(vii)

There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora including a study of potentially endangered species.

Competition

We are an exploration stage company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration and development companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral properties.

Employees

We have no employees other than our executive officers and directors as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We conduct our business largely through agreements with consultants and arms length persons.

Research and Development Expenditures

We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.

Patents and Trademarks

We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

                                                                   5

ITEM 1A.               RISK FACTORS

If we do not obtain additional financing, our business plan will fail.

Our current operating funds are estimated to be sufficient to complete the first and second phase of exploration on our mining claim. However, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of our mining claim. We have not made arrangements to secure any additional financing.

Because our President, Secretary, Treasurer and director, Richard Hiron, owns 54.07% of our outstanding common stock, investors may find that corporate decisions controlled by Mr. Hiron are inconsistent with the interests of other stockholders.

Richard Hiron, our President, and Secretary and Treasurer controls 54.07% of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, in accordance with our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, Mr. Hiron is able to control who is elected to our board of directors and thus could act, or could have the power to act, as our management. Since Mr. Hiron is not simply a passive investor but is also one of our active executives, his interests as an executive may, at times, be adverse to those of passive investors. Where those conflicts exist, our shareholders will be dependent upon Mr. Hiron exercising, in a manner fair to all of our shareholders, his fiduciary duties as an officer or as a member of our board of directors. Also, due to his stock ownership position, Mr. Hiron will have: (i) the ability to control the outcome of most corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including amendments to our Articles of Incorpora tion; (ii) the ability to control corporate combinations or similar transactions that might benefit minority stockholders which may be rejected by Mr. Hiron to their detriment, and (iii) control over transactions between him and Bow Valley.

We may conduct further offerings in the future in which case investors’ shareholdings will be diluted.

Since our inception, we have relied on equity sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct additional equity offerings in the future to finance any future business projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, investors’ percentage interest in us will be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of their stock.

Because of the speculative nature of mineral exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially viable mineral deposits will be found.

Exploration for commercially viable mineral deposits is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. We cannot provide investors with assurance that our mining claim contains commercially viable mineral deposits. The exploration program that we will conduct on our claim may not result in the discovery of commercial viable mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual and unexpected rock formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we may be unable to complete our business plan and you could lose your entire investment in this offering.


                                                                                     6

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

The search for minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. We currently have no such insurance nor do we expect to get such insurance for the foreseeable future. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all of our assets resulting in the loss of your entire investment in this offering.

Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.

The shares of our common stock constitute “penny stocks” under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain classified as a penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification as a penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker/dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker/dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than having to comply with these rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell a penny stock.

The "penny stock" rules adopted by the SEC under the Exchange Act subjects the sale of the shares of our common stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on broker/dealers. For example, brokers/dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities.

Legal remedies, which may be available to an investor in "penny stocks,” are as follows:

 

 

(a)

if "penny stock" is sold to an investor in violation of his or her rights listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel his or her purchase and get his or her money back.

 

 

(b)

if the stocks are sold in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that caused the fraud for damages.

 

 

(c)

if the investor has signed an arbitration agreement, however, he or she may have to pursue his or her claim through arbitration.

If the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker/dealer, the broker/dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker/dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the SEC's rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of our common stock.                                      &n bsp;

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES.

We rent office spaces from our President and chief executive officer and director, Richard Hiron This office space consists of approximately 200 square feet, and Mr. Hiron supplies this office space to us at no cost to the Company.

We currently do not own any physical property or own any real property.

THE NEW YEAR NO.1 PROPERTY

We acquired a 100% interest in the New Year No.1 mining claim from Multi Metal Mining Corp. of Las Vegas, Nevada on May 23, 2007 for the sum of $5,000.

Location

he New Year No I Lode Claim is located within Section 3, Range 58E, Township 26S at the easternmost portion of the Yellow Pine Mining District of Clark County, Nevada.


Access from Las Vegas, Nevada to the New Year No 1 Lode Claim is southward via Interstate Highway # 15 for approximately 3 1 miles, four miles past the town of Jean, Nevada, to a junction with a road which is taken easterly for five miles to a junction with a road southerly which is taken for less than two miles to the northern boundary of the New Year No I Lode Claim.

Climate

The New Year No I Lode Claim is situated at the southern end of the Sheep Mountain Range, a north-south trending range of mountains with peaks reaching an elevation of 4,184 feet. The claim covers the northeasterly and the southwesterly facing slopes of a northerly trending ridge. The topography is gentle, ranging from a central depression at 1,250 feet in the north to 1,550 feet in the southeast of the New Year No I Lode Claim.


The area is of a typically desert climate with relatively high temperatures and low precipitation. Vegetation consists mainly of desert shrubs and cactus. Sources of water would be available from valley wells.


Infrastructure

Currently there is no plant or equipment located on the New year No. 1 Property. Sources of water would be available from valley wells, which should provide sufficient water for all phases of the exploration plan that may be undertaken. There are no electrical facilities currently built on the property. Diesel-electrical power will be required in the initial stages of development.





                                                                                        8


History

The history of the New Year mine is not known. However, the underground workings and the localized exploration pits exploring zinc/lead mineralization were probably excavated during the period of mid to late 1800's after the Goodsprings concentrator was in operation and much exploration activity ensued as a very convenient market for ore.


Exact production from the New Year mine is not recorded, however, recorded production from the New Year mine and including production from the Lookout and the Mountain Top mines is reported as 37 carloads.

Property Geology

Mineralization at the New Year mine is reported as irregular ore bodies in the brecciated Bullion Dolomite near the crest of a northwest-plunging anticline. Hydrozincite containing grains of galena was the ore. Some smithsonite, calamine, and oxidized lead minerals were found.

Current Exploration

Mr. Lawrence Sookochoff, a professional geologist, has completed an evaluation of the New Year No.1mining claim and  prepared a geological report on our claim.

Based on his review, Mr. Sookochoff concludes that the New Year No.1mining claim warrants further exploration due to the geochemistry and inferred geological continuity, as well as the lack of previous exploration.

Mr. Sookochoff recommends an initial exploration program consisting of three phases. The first phase would consist of prospecting, trenching and sampling over the known mineral zone to determine geological controls to the mineralization and to determine the nature of the mineralization. As a follow-up to the initial investigation of the mineralized structure, a VLF-EM survey and soil sampling is recommended to be completed along the determined extensions of the known mineral zones, underground mapping and sampling, in addition to VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys should be completed. ,.

As a third phase to the exploration program, geochemical soil (MMI) surveys should be completed to locate prime targets to test for sub-surface mineralization by diamond drilling.

Magnetometer surveys involve searching for changes in the magnetic field over property areas. Magnetic anomalies may be a result of accumulations of certain magnetic rocks such as phrhotite, hematite and magnetite. These rock types are often found alongside base metals such as copper, zinc and nickel, or precious metals such as gold and silver.

Trenching involves removing surface soil using a backhoe or bulldozer. Samples are then taken from the bedrock below and analyzed for mineral content.

Sampling consists of gathering rock or soil samples from property areas with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization that appear to contain precious metals such as gold and silver, or industrial metals such as copper and nickel. All samples gathered will be sent to a laboratory where they are crushed and analyzed for metal content.

The first two phases is estimated to cost $18,000 as described below. We anticipate commencing the first phase of exploration in the summer or fall of 2007. The program will take about 14 days to complete.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Based on the recommendations of our consulting geologist, we have decided to continue our exploration program on the New Year No.1 Property. However, as at May 31, 2009, we had $4,815 cash on hand, of and an accumulated deficit of $95,485. As such, we will require substantial additional financing in the near future in order to meet our current obligations and to continue our operations. Currently, we do not have any financing arrangements in place and there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Due to the lack of our operating history and our present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated in their audit report included in our audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2009 that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Revenues

We have not earned any revenues to date and we do not anticipate earning any revenues in the near future. We are an exploration stage company and presently are seeking other business opportunities. The increases in expenses are primarily a result of the increase in consulting, accounting and legal fees and costs associated with our mineral exploration activities. The additional accounting and legal fees for the year ended May 31, 2009 relate primarily to the preparing and filing of our quarterly reports and this annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

.

As of May 31, 2009, we had cash on hand of $4,815. Since our inception, our sole sources of financing have been sales of our common stock. We have not attained profitable operations and our ability to pursue any future plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report to our audited financial statements for the period ended May 31, 2009 that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

We anticipate continuing to rely on sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete any additional sales of our equity securities or that we will be able arrange for other financing to fund our planned business activities.





                                                                       13

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Foreign Currency Translation

We use the United States of America dollar as our reporting currency for consistency with the registrants of the SEC and in accordance with FAS No. 52.

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency at period-end are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the period-end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Any gains or losses arising as a result of such translations are not included in operations, but are reported as a separate component of equity as foreign currency translation adjustments, if applicable.

Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains or losses are included in other income or expenses on the statement of operations, if applicable.

Mineral Property Costs

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 04-02, Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets.  The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, at each fiscal quarter end.  An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property.  Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value.

When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized.  Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves.  If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.






                                                                            14

ITEM 7A.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities. Because most of our purchases and sales will made in Canadian dollars, any exchange rate change affecting the value of the in Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could have an effect on our financial results as reported in U.S. dollars. If the in Canadian dollar were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly reduced. If the in Canadian dollar were to appreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly increased.

To Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Bow Valley Ventures, Inc.



REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bow Valley Ventures, Inc. (the Company), an exploration stage company, as of May 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2009, and for the period from December 20, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and signific ant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Bow Valley Ventures, Inc., an exploration stage company, as of May 31, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2009 and for the period from December 20, 2006 to May 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company does not have the necessary working capital for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 5 to the financial statements.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2009


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS


Bow Valley Ventures Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 20, 2006 The Company was organized to explore mineral properties in Nevada.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in United States (US) dollars. The Company has not produced any revenue from its principal business and is an exploration stage company as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7. “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.


Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations. The Company is not currently earning any revenues.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Bow Valley Ventures Inc, a Company incorporated under the Company Act of Alberta on April 20, 2007.  All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of these financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Regulatory Matters


The company and its mineral property interests are subject to a variety of Canadian national and provincial regulations governing land use, health, safety and environmental matters. The company’s management believes it has been in substantial compliance with all such regulations, and is unaware of any pending action or proceeding relating to regulatory matters that would affect the financial position of the Company.

                                                  BOW VALLEY VENTURES, INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2009


Impaired Asset Policy


The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets when applicable to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets". The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.


Start-up Expenses


The Company has adopted Statement of Position No. 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting the Costs of Start-up Activities," which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred.


Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company's formation have been included in the Company's general and administrative expenses for the period from inception on December 20, 2006 to May 31, 2009.


Mineral Property Costs


Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 04-02, Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets.  The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, at each fiscal quarter end.  An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property.  Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value.


When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized.  Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves.  If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.


Foreign Currency Translation


The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 Foreign Currency Translation, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2009

arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. There were no translation adjustments as of May 31, 2009.


Loss Per Share


The Company computed basic and diluted loss per share amounts for May 31, 2009 pursuant to the SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.”  There are no potentially dilutive shares outstanding and, accordingly, dilutive per share amounts have not been presented in the accompanying statements of operations.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.                                                          


Comprehensive Loss


SFAS No.130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements.  As of May 31, 2009 the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in financial statements.  


Income Taxes


Income taxes are recognized in accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized.


Recent Authoritative Pronouncements


The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on its financial statements.


NOTE 3 – MINERAL LEASES AND CLAIMS


On May 23, 2007, the Company acquired a 100% interest in numerous claims known as the New Year No.1 Property, which is located in the Yellow Pine Mining District, Nevada. The claims were purchased for $5,000 cash. Because the claims have no proven mineral reserves, the amount allocated toward mineral property assets was considered 100% impaired at the date of acquisition, and a related impairment loss was recorded.

NOTE 5 – GOING CONCERN


These financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. As of May 31, 2009, the Company had $4,815 in cash, a working capital deficit of $5,485, stockholders’ deficit of $5,485 and accumulated net losses of $95,485 since inception. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Its continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially viable mining reserves, and ultimately to establish profitable operations.


Management's plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company's operations through issuance of its common stock. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve revenue as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues. There are no assurances, however, with respect to the future success of these plans.


NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES


Deferred income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.


The Company has accumulated net operating losses of $95,485 as of May 31, 2009, generating an approximate deferred tax asset of $32,500, which has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. These net operating losses begin to expire in the year 2026.

ITEM 9.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

There has been no changes in or disagreements with our principal independent accountants.

We have engaged Madsen & Associates CPA’s, Inc. as our independent auditors since May 2007.

 During the years ended May 31, 2009 and 2008 and subsequent to May 31, 2009 through to the date hereof, neither we, nor anyone on our behalf, has consulted with Madsen & Associates CPA’s, Inc. regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, whether completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor has Madsen & Associates CPA’s, Inc. provided to us a written report or oral advice regarding such principles or audit opinion or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or any reportable events as set for in Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-X.

ITEM 9A.                 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that our disclosure control objectives are achieved. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective at providing this reasonable level of assurance as of the period covered, due to the fact that we have only one officer and director. In the future the company will endeavor to add another director with sufficient SEC and accounting related expertise, to provide adequate segregation of duties and financial accounting and reporting controls, which currently are sig nificant deficiencies in our internal control.There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended May 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10.

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS, CONTROL PERSONS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.

Our sole executive officer and director and his age and titles are as follows:

 

 

 

Name

Age

Position

Richard Hiron

44

President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our officers and directors:

Mr. Richard Hiron: Mr. Hiron became our President, Secretary and Treasurer on December 20, 2006.



                                                                   15

Mr. Hiron is a graduate of the University of Alberta, and has over 18 years experience as a sales and marketing professional primarily in the media industry. Mr. Hiron began his career with Molson and then spent time at Pattison Outdoor. In 1997 Mr. Hiron began work with CHUM Television, and was responsible for setting up their first sales office in Alberta with Access Television. During his tenure with CHUM, he has been responsible for establishing a commercial sales division, overseeing the integration of all corporate revenue generating activities, and instilling a strong focus on customer service. Mr. Hiron is currently the Regional Sales Manager for CHUM’s Alberta stations including Citytv Calgary, Citytv Edmonton and Access Television.Given that Mr. Hiron has no previous experience in mineral exploration or operating a mining and exploration company. Mr. Hiron also lacks any accounting or financial credentials, he intends to perform his job f or us by engaging consultants who have experience in the areas where he is lacking. Mr. Hiron is also studying information about our industry to familiarize himself with our business.

TERM OF OFFICE

Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our Bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.

SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES

We have no significant employees other than our sole officer and director.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

We are not a listed issuer and as such our Board of Directors is not required to maintain a separately-designated standing audit committee. As a result, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee. Our sole director does not meet the definition of an “audit committee financial expert.” We believe that the cost related to appointing a financial expert to our Board of Directors at this time is prohibitive.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our equity securities (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, other than as described below, no other reports were required for those persons. We believe that, during the year ended May 31, 2009, all Reporting Persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.

Notes:

 

(1)

Based on 9,250,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of September 15, 2009,. Under Rule 13d-3, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on September 15, 2009.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

We are not aware of any arrangement that might result in a change in control in the future.



                                                                     18

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Except as described below, none of the following parties has, since our date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us, other than noted in this section:

 

 

 

 

(i)

Any of our directors or officers;

 

(ii)

Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;

 

(iii)

Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock;

 

(iv)

Any of our promoters; and

 

(v)

Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same house as such person.

On, 2007, we issued 5,000,000 total shares of common stock who is our sole executive officer and sole director, Richard Hiron , at a price of $0.001 per share. The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are restricted shares as defined in the Securities Act.

Director Independence

Quotations for our common stock are entered on the OTC Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation.

ITEM 14.         PRINCIPAL AND ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed for the two most recently completed fiscal years ended May 31, 2009 and 2007 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
